MEXICO CITY – Steve Trachsel referred to the movie “Hoosiers” yesterday as he walked out of the clubhouse and into the dugout at Estadio Foro Sol for the first time.

“It’s all the same – ninety feet [between the bases], 60 feet, 6 inches [from mound to plate],” Trachsel said before his start in the Everest of ballparks, up at 7,349 feet.

Well, the dimensions may be the same, but the altitude and dry climate weren’t – and they took the bite out of Trachsel’s curve and splitter, as he suspected they would.

Still, the righty survived five innings, allowing eight hits and five runs (four earned) in the Mets’ 16-11, 11-inning victory over the Dodgers.

Trachsel also had to deal with the additional distraction of a loud sound system that played everything from Marilyn Manson to “The Curly Shuffle” during innings.

“I’m not used to speakers blaring after every pitch you throw,” Trachsel said.

Catcher Mike Piazza thought Trachsel handled the rugged environment.

“He actually did a good job keeping the ball down,” Piazza said.

“He was saying it was tough to get a grip. It was dry, and the altitude makes it a lot different than Florida.

“He made the adjustment very well.”

The Mets and Dodgers will receive about $250,000 for this trip, the Post has learned.

The money only covers the projected loss of a home game in Florida ($125,000) and the travel expenses ($125,000). If Major League Baseball makes any money in the venture, it goes into a collective pool that is divided among all 30 teams.

Piazza, who went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, refused to comment on the Guillermo Mota situation. However, he spoke eloquently of his time as a Mexican League player.

Before he became a perennial All-Star, Piazza played for Mexicali.

“My experience was absolutely vital to my development and reaching the major leagues,” he said. “Most of the pitchers didn’t throw 95 or 100, but they knew how to pitch. I learned how to hit breaking balls. I had a lot of great memories and I enjoyed it.”
